Shangri-La has introduced its ultra-luxury division, Shangri-La Signatures, with The Silk Lakehouse marking its first property in Hangzhou.
The location beside West Lake, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, enhances the property’s appeal and ties to local heritage.
The hotel experience includes unique offerings such as tea ceremonies and silk weaving, curated to immerse guests in local culture.
The dining options showcase Hangzhou’s culinary traditions, featuring innovative dishes crafted by acclaimed chef Alan Yu.
The design ethos of the property focuses on cultural authenticity and artistic collaboration, creating a luxurious environment.
Shangri-La shared “The Silk Lakehouse ushers in a new era of Asian hospitality, where cultural heritage, artistry, and nature converge. Shangri-La Signatures redefines modern luxury through cultural authenticity, intentional design, and heartfelt human connection. The property blends Jiangnan elegance with contemporary sophistication — from a crystal art installation of 1,930 hand-blown Murano glass pieces evoking the movement of willow branches on West Lake.”
